The Chat Group's Infinite Possibilities, and the Difficulty of Daily Life Worlds Entering the Supernatural

If Yukino Yukinoshita did not care that Yui Yuigahama had fallen for Hachiman Hikigaya, if she could focus solely on her own feelings and victory like the heroines of certain traditional romantic comedies, then none of it would have any real "impact" on her.

Because in that Oregairu world without any mystical side, Hachiman Hikigaya's gaze would, from beginning to end, only be deeply drawn to one person, constantly pursuing her before finally locking onto her completely.

That person was Yukino Yukinoshita.

As he came to understand her, he would inevitably discover her "cuteness," and his favor and feelings would naturally tilt toward her and gather around her.

Yui Yuigahama's affection and love, before such a trajectory, were more of a heartbreaking background note than a force capable of rewriting the fated future.
